Hello everyone,
we have an appointment with the architect coming up soon. To pass the time, we have had conversations with one or two general contractors.
I am very surprised by the following statements:
1) For a gable roof without eaves, a solid knee wall must be constructed - additional cost 12k
2) Ridge height/open ridge means a lot more insulation material - additional cost 9k
3) A small "T"-shaped wall in the bathroom costs an extra 3k
The first point surprises me a lot. How is the knee wall constructed in a house with roof overhang? We had discussed a knee wall of about 140 cm here. Unfortunately, I forgot to ask this question there, so I am looking for an answer over the weekend.
I find the extra costs for points 2 and 3 somewhat exaggerated. However, I can understand that it generally costs more.
Unfortunately, our appointment with the architect is still pending, so I am trying to clarify many questions in advance.
Kind regards!
